A l’aplomb de l’église St Michel classé Monument Historique et joyau de l’Art Roman, d’anciennes terrasses de jardins potagers villageois accueillent le Jardin des Herbes (classé « Jardin remarquable ») : quelques 200 espèces de plantes médicinales. Il héberge un bar éphémère certains soirs d’été.
En empruntant les passages voûtés, dans les ruelles bordées de vieilles maisons, vous croiserez des galeries d’art et des boutiques. Installez-vous sur la place du village, à l’heure où les habitués viennent disputer leur traditionnelle partie de pétanque. Goûtez le charme des ces paisibles villages de la Drôme Provençale.
Place de Cornieres - medieval centre (est.+/-1250). A very nice square surrounded by medieval buildings with little shops and restaurants - Monpazier/FR
Nice little art shops in this old medieval town. Selling little paintings made in this region - Monpazier/FR
Promenade en aller-retour au fil d'un sentier découverte (la balade est rythmée par les panneaux didactiques sur la faune et, principalement, la flore du territoire) dont le point de retour de cette petite rando très abordable, le belvédère de Tréguier, vous offrira un superbe point de vue sur le lac de Sainte-Croix et sur le canyon du Val d'Angouire (un petit affluent du Verdon).
It's always nice to see all the facade variations. A balcony, door, windows, shutters, in various states of maintenance. It looks so much better then to see equal structures in a long row.

Monpazier: Shopping
The small village Monpazier, a 13th-century bastide town, founded in 1285 and built by King Edward I of England for trade, commerce and justice. It almost didn't change in the past centuries, a medieval town square lined with an arched arcade, a 16th-century covered market, three of the original six rampared city gates remain and many other traces of medieval history. This picturesque small village is one of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" villages, said to be one of the most atractive in southwest France.

Very elegant, ancient and silent small streets in the Castrum area of Pays de Belvés. A very nice detail about this area is that you can't see any modern elements, it gives a view of timeless beauty. An excellent area for a nice walk and to discover a wealth in timeless photography

Pays de Belves: Castrum - Architecture Photography
The village Pays-de-Belvès used to be called Belvès, it's fortified in the Middle Ages because of its strategic position and came to be known as the "Pope’s city" as it was under Clement V protection. Belvès still bears witness to a tormented past with fortified walls, a castrum (fortified camp), an 11th century auditeur’s tower, 14th-15th century castle and belfry, city hall tower, covered market, hotel with a Renaissance façade and even some ancient troglodyte dwellings. It has been designated as one of the most beautiful towns in France with impressive panoramic views on top of a hill, enough reason to be member of the "Plus Beaux Villages de France".

Signatures of a facade. Decorative architecture. Doors, wIndows, shutters, balconies, fences and other decorations. In some way they are individual identities of a building. What is is, but also for who, where or how the owners or inhabitants are.

Depuis 900 ans, les moines se succèdent dans l’abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque. Logé au cœur de la Provence, à proximité du village de Gordes, ce monastère cistercien a connu un âge d’or, mais aussi un terrible déclin suivit d’un renouveau. Aujourd’hui, l’abbaye est toujours occupée par des moines qui partagent leur temps entre la prière et le travail afin de vivre en autonomie. En période estivale, lorsque le lavandin est en fleur, l’abbaye de Sénanque, avec ses pierres de calcaire et ses toits couverts de lauzes, offre un spectacle digne d’une carte postale.
Everyone chooses a place to live, a place that suits the resident. In architecture, it is valuable for each residential location to have the opportunity to give it its own unique identity. The variety of facades with doors, windows, balconies, gardens and more gives every house its own appearance. Together this forms a map of the community that is recognizable to everyone.
In modern architecture with sleek, especially repetitive housings, everyone seems equal. But the community then loses color, the unique character of the residents is then almost invisible. Residents express this indoors, which is rarely visible to everyone. It creates a multitude of closedness in a place where we should be able to live together happily and healthily.

Construite entre le xiie et le xvie siècles, l'église est dédiée à Vincent de Saragosse, un saint né en Espagne au iiie siècle et qui occupait les fonctions de diacre de l'évêque Valère. Il fut victime des persécutions anti-chrétiennes du début du ive siècle.
L'église des Baux a été classée au nombre des monuments historiques le 12 juillet 18861.
Dans la nef de gauche, dans la troisième chapelle, l'œil est immédiatement attiré par la présence d'un cénotaphe surmonté d'un gisant. Malgré son aspect ancien, celui-ci ne date que de 1906. Il est dédié à la famille de Manville, dont l'ancêtre, Claude de Manville, époux de Philippine de Brion, a fait ériger cette chapelle vers 1540 aux frais de sa famille. Les trois chapelles de gauche, depuis l'entrée, sont nommées Saint-Marc, Saint-Sébastien et Sainte-Croix. Cette dernière est celle des Manville - copyright wikipedia

Monument historique
11 Rue des Deux Ponts 11220 Lagrasse
Eléments protégés :
Pile en pierre à chapiteau sculpté avec son sommier de bois ; les deux corbeaux en bois, la grande poutre qu'ils supportent et les solives moulurées formant couvert, de la façade : inscription par arrêté du 27 août 1931
Historique : Cette maison fait partie des couverts qui subsistent sur le côté occidental de la place du Marché. Le poteau est en pierre dure, en trois morceaux. Celui du sommet porte, en guise de chapiteau, deux têtes encapuchonnées. Au-dessus est disposé un sommier en bois mouluré à triple tore qui soulage la maîtresse poutre dont les extrémités reposent sur des corbeaux en bois. Primitivement, la façade de cet immeuble devait être établie en encorbellement sur les solives moulurées aux abouts qui ne portent plus qu'un balcon. Elle devait être en pans de bois. Cet arrangement de portique peut, par la mouluration du sommier et des corbeaux et par le petit écusson engravé au centre du sommier, être daté du 14e siècle.
Périodes de construction : 14e siècle

Village school building. A sign shows some more famous people than the villagers. Nothing compared to Isabeau of Limeuil, the village own celebrity. She's linked to the gallant stories of the court of the Valois kings of the Renaissance, in the 16th century. She was part of the "flying squadron" of Queen Catherine de Medici (her bridesmaids, sometimes called libertines).
Wandering in the silent small streets of Limeuil surrounded by only old, medieval even older houses. It's a steap walk up-hill that leads to an excellent panorama to enjoy the surrounding landscape and rivers. It's like the village didn't change at all, the many traces in architecture show a long history back in time.
